Chapter 25: Hunger
At dawn, Su Bujing opened his eyes as usual and absorbed the aura of heaven and earth at sunrise, and then replaced the broken spirit stones in his purse by going to the toilet.
When he set off on his way, no one went to find Li Ergou, leaving him to lie on the ground and wail and fend for himself.
Because of last night's incident, everyone who fled saw the ruthless methods of the Su family, and at this time, everyone wanted to stay away from the Su family.
An open space was created around the Su family.
Su Buwei pulled the cart, and the cart was filled with bedding, pots and pans, and food.
The rest of the Su family also dispersed, tightly surrounding the cart, crossing the Chen family, and walking at the forefront of the team.
From a distance, it doesn't look like a group of people who are traveling all the way, but it looks like the Su family is followed by a group of beggars.
Suddenly, Chen Wanli stepped forward and ran a few steps, caught up with the Su family, arched his hand and said politely:
"Brother Su, I have a reluctant request, my youngest son and mother are weak, I don't know if I can let them sit on the cart again..."
Su Yuanshan asked rhetorically, "Oh? But didn't Brother Chen see my cow running away? Nowadays, even the youngest child in my family walks on his legs, and my son pulls the cart and pulls some miscellaneous items. ”
Chen Wanli said again: "The mother and child are not heavy, besides, I am willing to pull the car instead of the little brother." ”
Su Yuanshan lost a smile on his face, "Chen Wanli, you are a little self-righteous when you say this, who rarely asks you to help pull the car?" ”
"Last night, the Wen family came over to steal our family's water, and I haven't settled the account with you, so you have the cheekiness to come and ask me?"
"You know, not only your family has elders and children, everyone can endure things, you can't bear it? Even if you can't bear it, me!? ”
Before the accident, this person was enthusiastic and warm-hearted, and when something happened and he needed help, he was submissive.
Such a person also likes to cause trouble to others.
Su Yuanshan secretly complained in his heart, and rejected Chen Wanli with a cold face.
Anyway, now that their family has been completely spread out from the fleeing people, they will simply go to the end, and they will never wronged their own people!
Chen Wanli's face turned red when Su Yuanshan said, his lips trembled and he spit out a few words, "You... Pure reasoning! ”
His son is still so young, he has never suffered from this, and his mother is old... He just wants them to have a better time! What's wrong?
After speaking, looking at Su Yuanshan's expressionless face, with no intention of retaining, Chen Wanli flicked his sleeves, stomped his feet and walked away.
Wen could still be heard crying in the distance: "Their cubs beat me like this, they will be responsible!" Tell me about it..."
Su Yuanshan snorted coldly, ignored it anymore, and continued to hurry.
After ten days, the further back you go, the less food you can find on the road.
Not only are the wild vegetables and wild fruits gone, but even the weeds and leaves as far as the eye can see have been picked up.
One can imagine how many people fled ahead!
The fleeing people had no choice, in order to survive, they could only start digging soil and digging tree roots to eat, and the Su family was no exception.
They had to feed six mouths of food they were looking for, and they had to travel every day, so even if they saved food, they wouldn't last a few days.
There is still water, after all, Su Bujing will replenish some from the water tank in the Immortal Mansion from time to time.
Now the Su family can still eat a few bites of food every day, which is already rare.
As for the other people who fled, not to mention one meal a day, it would be good to eat one meal in two days, but they didn't dare to eat with an open stomach.
Fortunately, it rained a little while they were on the way, and the fleeing people collected some rootless water, so that they did not die of thirst.
Because of the rain, a lot of mushrooms grew in the bushes, and many of the refugees were overjoyed and picked a bunch of mushrooms that they thought they were familiar with to eat.
The Su family also wanted to pick something to eat, but was stopped by Su Bujing:
"What if a mushroom is poisonous? We can get by digging some weeds to eat, so there's no need to take this risk. ”
Su Yuanshan agreed with Su Bu's words, that is, looking at the hungry and emaciated cheeks of the children, he felt very uncomfortable.
Among the whole family, Su Buwei's consumption is the largest.
Not only does he push the cart, but he always gives his share of food to his younger siblings.
Su Buyi wanted to push the cart for him, but Su Buwei refused, "Big brother, don't help me, it's my responsibility to lose the cow, this is what I should do, you just help take care of Daddy and Auntie!" Sister brother I watch! ”
When Zhao heard this, he wiped his tears with relief and said that he had not only grown up.
The Su family didn't pick mushrooms, but more people picked them.
But, sure enough, something went wrong.
Hungry people can't wait to nibble on anything they see.
Some people don't even wait for the roast to finish before they take a bite of the raw mushroom.
As expected, the person who nibbled on the mushroom immediately foamed at the mouth, shivered all over, and died after a few breaths.
Looking at the people who died of poisoning, the Su family couldn't help but rejoice.
I even decided in my heart that even if I ate the roots, I couldn't pick these poisonous mushrooms that I didn't know.
But the fleeing people didn't think so, they thought it was undercooked, so they were poisoned.
"Ah Yuan, you go pick more mushrooms and come back, we'll bake and eat it!"
Wen was so hungry that he was out of shape at this time, his cheekbones were high and bulging, his cheeks were flushed with an abnormal flush, and his lips were dry and peeling.
Ever since Wen was beaten by Su Bu, her stomach has always ached, but there is no redness, swelling and bruises, so that she has no excuse to blackmail the Su family.
People will only say that she is pretending to be in pain!
Chen Yuan looked at the poisoned person in horror, and his thin body couldn't stop trembling, "A-Niang, this... This mushroom is poisonous, no, you can't eat it! ”
Wen frowned and yelled: "Don't eat? If we don't eat, we'll starve to death! Every day your father will feed you a large piece of tree root, and there is nothing left in our house! ”
That Chen Wanli, only his son and wife in his heart!
Chen Yuan grabbed Wen and used all his strength to prevent Wen from roasting poisonous mushrooms.
Wen was so angry that he wanted to slap Chen Yuan, but he saw someone next to him eating ripe mushrooms, and he lost his breath after taking a bite.
Wen: !!
Wen was greatly frightened, shook off Chen Yuan, and threw the poisonous mushroom out of his head.
This nasty thing!
The fleeing crowd looked at the people who had been poisoned by the roasted mushrooms, and one by one collapsed on the ground in despair.
"God won't give us a way to live!"
"When will this day end?"
Su Yuanshan looked at this scene, let out a long sigh, and distributed the last half of the roasted sweet potato to the Su family, one person only got the size of a thumb, and four wild vegetables, and the whole family shared it together.
"Sister eats." Su Buwei took the sweet potato with a small thumb in his hand to Su Buwei.
Su Bu shook his head, "Second brother, you can eat, you still have to push the cart!" ”
"Second brother is not hungry..."As soon as Su Buwei finished speaking, his stomach gurgled.
Su Buwei stretched out his hand to take Su Buwei's sweet potato, and fed it to his mouth at once, "Second brother likes to deceive people the most, and I will ignore you if you do it again." ”
Su Buwei took Su Bujing's hand and chewed the sweet potato in his mouth carefully, eager to chew it for a day.
Su Buyi and Su Buyi broke and ate little by little, cherishing the hard-won food very much.
Su Yuanshan and Zhao only ate half of it, and then they found a piece of cloth and put half a thumb-sized sweet potato on their bodies.
It's okay for them adults to eat less.
